Bab 17: Chapter 17 I don't want to see you
Gao Ning said calmly, "Xia Zhu, why don't you understand? I'm here today to give Qingya Media a chance. Their new boss is trying to curry favor with me! If he's really reliable, we at Gao's can also finalize a collaboration with them. By then, he'll have to keep you well. Haha... After all, you're my woman."
Xia Zhu didn't actually like relying on relationships to elevate her status, but since it was Gao Ning, the man she loved and who loved her in return, she felt somewhat justified.
However, after waiting for nearly an hour, the new boss of Qingya Media still hadn't shown up. Gao Ning felt deeply offended and snapped at Xiao Wei, who came to offer tea and water: "Where is your boss? Making us wait this long— is this how Qingya Media treats its guests?"
Xiao Wei was a timid girl. Seeing Gao Ning's haughty demeanor, she assumed he was an important figure and responded meekly, "The boss... should be here soon. Please... be patient."
Gao Ning said irritably, "Please make him hurry up. Do you even understand the situation? Am I here begging him? It's ridiculous!"
"Got it!" Xiao Wei hurriedly left the reception room and ran to Zhao Yanan's office, looking as if she was complaining, "Zhao Zong... Mr. Gao is angry. He says..."
"Mm," Zhao Yanan interrupted her, looking very composed. "Just go about your work. Don't worry about them."
After another half hour, Gao Ning's patience was completely gone. He stormed into Zhao Yanan's office, "Zhao Zong, you guys are really something. Are you playing games with me? Do you look down on the Gao family? Haha... Good! Very good!"
Zhao Yanan remained unfazed, "Mr. Gao, I told you in advance that our boss is very busy. You insisted on pushing things. I think it's you who's looking down on us."
"Haha... Zhao Yanan, don't think just because you're somewhat attractive that you can be so arrogant! I'm saying this now, if you offend the Gao family, let's see how long you can stay high and mighty!"
In Gao Ning's view, a fallen phoenix was not as good as a chicken, so he saw them as an easy target.
Zhao Yanan's expression remained cold. She was not the type to easily offend people, but she would also never be easily intimidated. Previously, she had her father's support; now, her backing was even stronger. After all, what was the point of marrying someone like Chu Yuxuan if she didn't have a solid foundation?
Although Chu Yuxuan was a useless scoundrel, he was still surnamed Chu!
Gao Ning, clearly not understanding the current situation, muttered angrily, "How could it be him?"
Just then, a commotion came from outside.
"Mr. Chu, we've been planning a live streaming platform in the development department. I've already written the proposal. Would you like to review it?"
"Mr. Chu, do you want to take a look at the proposal for the company's annual meeting?"
"Mr. Chu..."
A group of company executives surrounded Chu Yuxuan, discussing things one after another as they walked down the corridor.
Standing at the door of Zhao Yanan's office, Xia Zhu was stunned: "Mr. Chu?!"
At the same time, these words also clearly reached Gao Ning's ears, causing him to be dazed for a moment. After coming to his senses, he thought, "How could it possibly be him?"
However, he soon heard Chu Yuxuan's voice, "Alright, alright, one at a time. I'm not going to die right away... Give all these proposals to Zhao Zong to review. Once she gives her approval, let the finance department prepare the reports, and I'll approve the funds!"
"Long live Mr. Chu!"
Zhao Yanan looked at Gao Ning, who was frozen, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. She stood up and said, "Mr. Gao, let's go. Mr. Chu is here."
The two of them walked out of the office, just as Chu Yuxuan passed by. He gave Xia Zhu a sidelong glance and then swept his gaze over Gao Ning's face with a mocking grin, "No offense... but I really don't want to see you, so... get lost, okay?"
Afterward, he turned to the security manager and said, "If this kind of stray dog gets in again, I'll... spank you!"
The security manager's face turned red and white as he hurried to chase Gao Ning away, "Hurry up and leave! Don't you see Mr. Chu is angry? Do you believe I'll spank you?"
The employees, who had previously regarded Gao Ning as a big shot and treated him with respect, burst into laughter. Their eyes toward Xia Zhu now carried a hint of mockery. It turned out that this big star who had been cozying up to the wealthy was seen as nothing more than a stray dog in the eyes of their boss. Mr. Chu was truly impressive!
"Chu Yuxuan! You're just a kept man! A dog living off others! What are you so proud of?" Gao Ning, who had lost all dignity, ground his teeth in anger and almost lost his sanity. He turned to Zhao Yanan and spat, "I see now, you really have a soft spot for this kept man! Haha... Qingya Media is finished!"
At this point, Gao Ning still couldn't see the reality and didn't consider that the person who dared to take over Qingya Media was named Chu. Couldn't he guess the background?
Zhao Yanan, uninterested in arguing with him, looked at Xia Zhu, who was in a daze, and said coldly, "Go to the artist management department. Mr. Chu has something to announce."
Xia Zhu, feeling completely disoriented, only came to her senses when Chu Yuxuan's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor. She then approached Gao Ning and said softly, "Ning Ge, go back first... I'll handle the work and come back..."
Gao Ning grabbed her wrist, "Xia Zhu, let's go! This kind of trash company isn't worth staying in! I'll have my dad figure out how to help you get out of the contract!"
Zhao Yanan's tone was icy, "Xia Zhu, don't joke with your future. Go to the artist management department now, immediately."
Xia Zhu understood the consequences of breaching the contract. Even if the Gao family could help her, she still didn't want to feel indebted. On the other hand, she didn't want her years of hard work to be disrupted.
In the entertainment industry, how many artists who switched companies during their peak times ended up well?
"Ning Ge, go back first, be obedient... I'll come back after I finish my work."
As she spoke, she squeezed Gao Ning's hand tightly, forcing out a smile, and then followed Zhao Yanan to the artist management department.
Zhao Yanan was not the type to mix personal emotions with work and continued to patiently advise Xia Zhu, "I'll tell you one more time, don't make the same mistake twice. I can't control your private life with your boyfriend, but please be careful when you're out. Don't get photographed in a way that's detrimental to you!"
"Got it... Zhao Zong..." Xia Zhu responded timidly, her mind still full of Chu Yuxuan's high-handed demeanor.
Not long ago, he was just an insignificant Didi driver, and now he had become an upper-class figure?
What means did he use to become the boss of Qingya? It was too incredible!
On the other side, Gao Ning, who was furious, called his father immediately after getting back into the car. But after three calls, Gao Zhensheng didn't answer.
Helpless, he called his mother.
"Son, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
"Mom! I'm in a bad mood today..."
"What happened? Son, did someone bully you?" The woman on the other end of the line sounded very concerned.
Gao Ning, feeling extremely wronged after losing face because of Chu Yuxuan multiple times, embellished the recent events to his mother and said, "I called Dad, but he won't answer! Am I still his son or not?"
The woman sighed, "Your dad has a big business deal today and will probably be busy until late. Don't disturb him... Qingya Media, hmph, the Zhao family is already on their last legs, and they still dare to be so arrogant? Son, don't be angry. Mom will take charge! I want to see what kind of scum this kept man really is!"
"Mom, don't make me wait too long. I really can't stand it anymore!"
"Okay, okay, Mom will give you an answer tomorrow!"
